How I Did it Sessions

Working Group Session 1 - Video

Video

Making video people want to watch and monetizing it is profitably is a huge challenge, especially for publishers without a history of doing it. How publishers approach and invest will go a long way in determining who wins at video.

Working Group Session 2 - Platform Publishing

Platform Publishing

Platforms are playing a bigger part in the media ecosystem, eating up most of the digital ad spending and setting the rules for how publishers create, distribute and make money off their content. Publishers can ignore the platform giants at their peril.

3:00 p.m.

Working Group session 3 - Reader Revenue Models

Reader Revenue Models

It is obvious that publishers can't just rely on advertising revenue any longer so many are moving their focus to different reader revenue models and verticles to compensate for the lack of advertising revenue coming in.
